I need the Lord
Chapel in school was good today.
There was a group from the island of Samoa on their mission trip to Singapore. Did you know that 97% of the people in Samoa are Christians?? I didn't know that! In fact, from an informal poll done with the JC1s, only less than 20 of them had heard of Samoa Island prior to this visit!
They performed their dances, which were really entertaining. Why? Cos they would make strange noises throughout their dances and watching them dance was really joyful. You could tell that they had this joy in them, and the joy came from within them, from the Lord. There was this dance which they performed which made me tear. It was a dance which praised the Lord, about giving glory to our Redeemer. It wasn't exactly the lyrical kinda dance of the like in "So you think you can dance", but it was emotional enough. How do I know? Cos I wasn't the only soul who felt like tearing. Other teachers were already tearing! I knew God was speaking to me. I need to prioritise.
Even within the stressful period that we might all be going through, there is always an oasis of peace and joy in our Lord Jesus. And I thank God for His grace.
The Lord says, "My grace is sufficient."
And an aside which I plagiarised from Pengy jeijie....
